Business Development

If you own a business, life can be complicated and challenging. I have experience and expertise helping small business owners become more successful in organizing and marketing their business. You are the most important assest for your business and your personal understanding and development will make a difference.

If you are working too much “in the business” and not enough “on your business,” then things need to change.

Our business coaching process will help you identify your goals, identify and remove the blocks that impede your progress and bring you greater peace of mind and financial success.

The Importance of Leadership

The Eight Essential Competencies

There are eight essential competencies that are important and interrelated for effective leadership. Each one affects the other and all together they result in a stronger, wiser, more powerful executive.

Self Confidence.

Emotional Intelligence.

Spiritual Values.

Established Personal Identity

Coachablity.

Positive State of Mind.

Ability to Adjust.

Integrity.

Self-Test

If you would like to assess your strengths in Self Confidence, please take the self-test below. Answer all questions true or false.

Self-Confidence

When I fall short of my own expectations, I forgive myself.

I regard my father with great esteem.

I choose friends who respect me.

I choose friends who are sensitive.

I value my contributions to the world.

I respect my mother.

I respect my friends and loved ones.

I do not need to be perfect in everything I do.

If you answered “false” to two or more of the above items, you may need to do some personal work in the area of self-belief.
